Radiological Health

The licensing staff of the Division of Radiological Health assist applicants in determining whether financial assurance is required for their facilities and in what amount. The total required depends on many site-specific factors but is generally based on an estimate of the amount necessary for the removal and disposal of the sources of radiation present at the site, as well as the costs involved in reclaiming the property on which the facility or site is located.
